Sheffield United away for us. Atleast we won't have to worry about a cup run

 

[Floreat Salopia]

Notts County at home for us. Thrilling.

In the last 6 seasons we've now drawn Wycombe in the 1st round of this cup 50% of the time.

Its a big club away which will please some and the fact it's so recent, some fans might not bother. Be nice to turn them over but can't see it happening.

In the last 6 seasons we've now drawn Wycombe in the 1st round of this cup 50% of the time.

It feels like 100% of the time. Uninspiring for both sides. Cup runs have been in short supply at San Sixfields so would be a welcome financial boost if we can get one this season.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Baaadiff away for us. Local which is good but one we will probably lose. We have just arranged a PSF against them too!

 

[Luke Imp]

Harrogate at home, who we also play in pre-season. Our first home tie since 2017 and the first time we'll have played a professional game against them.

We managed to beat them at the Lane last season so anything is possible.

As the Northampton fans have already said, it’s a dull draw for both sides - but meh, it’s not like the initial rounds of this competition are ever really likely to throw up an interesting draw.

Maybe I would have gone if we bagged the plum draw that is Bromley away, just out of novelty value, but other than that these fixtures aren’t expected to be much other than pure duty right now.

Made me laugh when one of them doing the draw picked out Wycombe v Northampton as his standout tie of the southern section

I did get confused though, didn’t bother to read the thread title (duh) and thought we were talking about the BDSM trophy rather than the league cup. Must…engage…brain.

So actually it is a worse draw than I thought. Especially if we go straight out, as we so often do in cup competitions.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Walsall away so grateful in this instance that it's on Sky.

We had all four ties at home last season so can't complain about an away tie.

Not bothered if we go out seeing as our run in this may have contributed to our loss in form in the autumn, not to mention Mitchell getting injured against Middlesbrough which ended his season

 

[folletto]

Birmingham at home. Could give us an early indication of where we are at as expect them to be pushing for top 2 but in reality I wouldn't expect either team to take the match too seriously

I completely forgot that they're all to be on sky. Either way, I'll be at Bramall Lane.

 

[The Terminator]

Newport at home, for once for us a home draw and a tie that is winnable.
